19) Where do I get TeX/LaTeX for machine Y running Q?

    Unix - The Unix TeX distribution is no longer available via anonymous
       ftp from one location. An up-to-date version of Unix TeX can
       be assembled, however, by ftp'ing from several different sites.
       If you don't want to do this, you can order it from the
       University of Washington, for a small fee. Contact:
                  Director
                  Northwest Computing Support Center
                  Thomson Hall, Mail Stop DR-10
                  University of Washington
                  Seattle, WA 98195 (USA)
                  (206)543-6259
       or send electronic mail to Elizabeth Tachikawa at
       elisabet@max.u.washington.edu (note the ``s''). The fee charged
       for getting the TeX distribution through the University of
       Washington helps fund the further development of Unix TeX, so
       it's a good idea to order it this way. This distribution compiles
       under Ultrix. Executables for the 386/ix are available via
       anonymous ftp from tik.vtt.fi (130.188.52.2) in
       ./pub/tex/bin-386ix and from math.berkeley.edu (128.32.183.94)
       in ./pub/tex386ix.tar.Z.

       To get TeX via anonymous ftp, first get the current web2c
       distribution from ftp.cs.umb.edu (192.12.26.23) in ./pub/tex. If you
       plan on using METAFONT, also grab the current version of modes.mf
       (see question 18). The web2c distribution will allow you to create
       initex, virtex, inimf, virmf, bibtex, and several programs for
       manipulating fonts. Next you will need the basic TeX and METAFONT
       macro files, available from labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.112) in
       ./pub/tex/lib. The basic BibTeX style files are here as well, in
       ./pub/tex/bibtex. If you want LaTeX, the current distribution is
       available from rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) in
       ./soft/tex/latex. I recommend LaTeX be installed with the New Font
       Selection Scheme (NFSS) (see question 35).  It resides in
       ./soft/tex/latex-style-supported/nfss.  If you want AMSLaTeX or
       AMSTeX, get them from e-math.ams.com (130.44.1.100) in ./ams.
       Finally, you need fonts. TeX itself needs font files with the
       extension ``.tfm''.  Your output device driver needs fonts in a
       different format, probably ``.pk''. Both ymir.claremont.edu
       (134.173.4.23) and rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de maintain collections
       of fonts in these formats. These collections contain the necessary
       fonts for the plain format and LaTeX, and other fonts you might
       want.  Alternatively, the necessary font formats can be generated
       from the METAFONT source, either by you, or automatically if you use
       the dvips driver mentioned in question 2. The METAFONT sources are
       available from the ymir and rusinfo archives.  Note that I have
       tried to mention the definitive sources for all the programs above.
       The nearest archive server (see question 22) may have everything
       mentioned above, without having to ftp around the world.

    AIX - TeX for the IBM RS6000 running AIX can be found on
       rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) in
       ./soft/tex/machines/unix/aix3.1.

    PC - A TeX package for the PC, including LaTeX, BibTeX, previewers,
       and drivers is available via anonymous ftp from
       vax.eedsp.gatech.edu (130.207.226.7) in ./pub/TeX. The variety here
       is sbtex version 30 by Wayne Sullivan. EmTeX, another TeX package
       for the PC by Eberhard Mattes, is available via anonymous ftp from
       rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) in
       ./soft/tex/machines/pc/emtex and also from niord.shsu.edu
       (192.92.115.8) in [.emtex]. This package includes LaTeX, METAFONT,
       BibTeX, etc., as well. Documentation is available in both German
       and English.

       All Public Domain TeX software for the PC is also available
       through TUG. A catalog is available free from them at the
       address given in question 11. This collection is maintained by
       Jon Radel, who will answer technical questions on the material
       (with no service guarantee). Send electronic mail to jon@radel.com.

    Mac - see question 7 for a public domain version.

    TOPS-20 - TeX was originally written on a DEC-10 under WAITS, and so
        was easily ported to TOPS-20. A Distribution that runs on TOPS-20
        is available via anonymous ftp from science.utah.edu
        (128.110.198.2) in ./pub/tex/pub/web.

    VAX/VMS - VMS executables are available via anonymous ftp from
        ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in [.tex.exe]. Source is
        available in [.tex.sources]. Version 3.1 is available in
        [.tex.sources.tex3_1]. Ymir has a mailserver for those without
        ftp access, although executables are not available through it.
        Send a message containing the line ``help'' to
        mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu. Standard tape distribution is
        through DECUS or Maria Code.

    Atari - TeX is available for the Atari ST from atari.archive.umich.edu
        (141.211.164.8) in ./atari/tex. If anonymous ftp is not available
        to you, send a message containing the line ``help'' to
        atari@atari.archive.umich.edu. The mail server can uuencode
        binary files. Another version can be obtained via anonymous
        ftp from ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.211.1) in
        ./pub/atari.st/tex. There is also lots of TeX stuff for the
        Atari on the rusinfo and ftp.cs.ruu.nl archives mentioned in
        question 22.

    Amiga - Disk 1 of the Amiga CommonTeX distribution is available
         via anonymous ftp from ab20.larc.nasa.gov (128.155.23.64)
         in ./amiga/commontex.lzh. The file copying.tex in the
         distribution contains information on how to obtain the other
         disks. Also, experimental versions of TeX 3.1 and METAFONT 2.7
         are available in ./incoming/amiga/TEX. There is also a full
         implementation of TeX 3.1 called PasTeX available via anonymous
         ftp from forwiss.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10) in ./pub/amiga/tex.

    Tandy 6000 - If you are interested in building TeX on this machine
         contact Ken Yap (ken@syd.dit.csiro.au), and he'll help you.
